We’re leaving the age of static software. As Sam Altman puts it, the future is software that writes itself for you. Same familiar interfaces, but tools that adapt, evolve, and code solutions on the fly. Software won’t be generic anymore. It’ll be personal. And honestly? That future looks insanely good.

The new bar for software: "can I vibecode this?" We’re heading into a world of personal software — built for one person and their needs — and premium software, designed with such depth that you’re buying a solution, not a tool. Most software today sits in the middle. And the middle is death. As the market catches up to our new reality, it won’t just be the ai bubble popping — it’ll be a lot of traditional SaaS getting wiped out (From my recent Kinference talk.)

Sam Altman says software will no longer be static. It will become elastic. Written for you in the moment. And over time, it evolves and converges around how you work.

LIGHTS OUT! That is the future of software factories says Matt Van Horn. The rules: no code to be written by humans, no code to be reviewed by humans. PERIOD! How long before we have software companies with human OUT of the loop?

Sam Altman says soon everyone will be a software engineer and he might be right Sam Altman just casually dropped one of the biggest takes about the future of work and software and people are still sleeping on it. Here’s the core idea, and it’s honestly wild: Natural language is the new syntax You won’t write code. You’ll describe what you want in plain English. Talking to computers becomes the default programming interface. The end of the “army of developers” No product managers writing specs. No giant dev teams for v1. You describe the app and the AI builds it. The overnight app You explain your idea, go to sleep, and the AI spends the night writing, testing, and wiring everything together. You wake up and the product exists. Coffee optional but recommended ☕ Autonomous software agents For complex systems, AI agents live inside the codebase itself. They crawl the repo, fix bugs, write tests, refactor code, and commit changes on their own. A digital workforce that never sleeps Not copilots. Not autocomplete. Actual agents doing ongoing engineering work without supervision. Beyond coding: total company automation Once software is automated, the same logic applies to operations, planning, and even parts of management. Code is just the first domino. If this plays out, “learning to code” becomes less important than learning to think clearly, describe intent, and spot good ideas. Question for you 👀 If everyone can build software, what actually becomes scarce: ideas, taste, or execution?

Dan Sundheim, founder & CIO of D1 Capital Partners on future of Software/SAAS business. "My guess is that software will have to evolve, will probably be a worse business model going forward. But I think the same way that like Walmart evolved with e-commerce. It required an enormous amount of investment. Their margins took a hit. They had new competitors. I think that'll be the case with software too, where companies that have really great distribution and great business models and are systems of record for companies. " Great podcast by Patrick OShaughnessy and Daniel Sundheim

Software for Agents Aaron Epstein The next trillion users on the internet won't be people. They'll be AI agents, and they're already doing real work on top of software that was designed for humans clicking buttons. Every major category of software needs to be rebuilt for agents as first-class citizens, and that won't come from incumbents.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the Jevons paradox and software demand expansion, Neelkanth Mishra, Executive Director Designate of the World Bank, says, “…If you think about what the major cost of a software firm is, it is people. So, if the writing of software is getting automated, those firms will be the first to make adjustments. But on the whole, it seems that the Jevons paradox—which dictates that as the cost of writing software falls, the amount of software written goes up—is actually playing out. If an XYZ company, which is a product company, was spending, say, $100 million on writing software and can now do it for $70 million, they might need to lay off some people; that is their business priority. But if the amount of software written goes up three to four times, the number of software engineers in the ecosystem will not change… This panic and paranoia about massive job losses is something that I think is, at this stage, unfounded.”

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

.Amjad Masad : Creating software is going to be one of the most exciting areas. The average person will soon be as capable as what a senior software engineer is today, as we shift from doing the work to directing it. Instead of coding line by line, you’ll run multiple agents in parallel, building the frontend, refactoring the database, shipping features, all in the background. On top of that, you’ll have a clean interface to design and interact with AI more creatively. Software creation is moving from execution to orchestration, and soon, it won’t be a specialised skill, it’ll be the baseline.

The trades can build anything... except the software they run on. That changes today. We've raised $9.2M to build Dalton Mills. Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work. First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in. Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you. Now, the bespoke era. Agentic software you build yourself, without code. Each era closed the gap and this one closes it for good. Software can finally work around your business, instead of you bending your business to make it fit. You ran on software made for everyone… never for you. That's over. Welcome to Dalton Mills. Let the builders build!

Cursor CEO Michael Truell on the future of writing code: “ Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming.” “It looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that does look more like English.” “You can imagine kind of an evolution of programming language towards pseudocode. You have written down the logic of the software, and you can edit that at a high level.” “It won't be the impenetrable millions of lines of code, it'll instead be something that's much terser and easier to understand and easier to navigate.” Source: Michael Truell (CEO Cursor) with Lenny Rachitsky on Lenny's Podcast

Chamath broke down the $5T software market on TWiST: $4T of it goes to maintenance and services, not the software itself. A financial services client was paying $2M a year to an outside vendor for a process that kept falling behind. We rebuilt it as software with Software Factory and an 8090 engineer accountable for it and maintaining it, and the cost dropped by about $1.5M a year.

Benedict Evans says AI means more software, not less: "There's going to be a bunch of stuff you could do with software that you just couldn't do before at all. And so there will be more competition." "If you think about the enterprise software fleet today, you've got three buckets... big iron horizontal systems, so SAP and Workday and your CRM... vertical software... and then in the middle, this fuzzy improvised space of Excel and email and the shared file system." "Now you add ChatGPT to that. Do you do that in an LLM? Is there an LLM tool that means you can do that in Salesforce where you couldn't do it before, or you can do it in your vertical app that you couldn't do before?" "All of which is a long way of saying, what does this do to software? And it must be more software. Way more software." Benedict Evans with Erik Torenberg

"'Generate an ASCII user interface for me. And I want you to essentially just respond, implement the logic of that program in your mind.'" "This is what I call neural software. Normal software is really brittle. 'Neural software' can't have bugs, only misunderstandings." "Large language models will be the software you interact with."
